Nina Planck grew up in Virginia selling vegetables at farmers' markets and later created the first farmers' markets in London, England. In New York City, she ran the legendary Greenmarkets. Nina also wrote The Farmers' Market Cookbook and hosted a British television series on local food. Her latest company, Real Food, runs markets for traditional foods in American cities.
"Nina Planck's powerful concept, 'real food, ' has changed how we
think about what we eat. Now Nina turns to the nutritional needs of
the developing human being. Today, one can say that 'womb ecology'
is the most vital aspect of human ecology. In terms of public
health, nothing is more important than the health and well-being of
pregnant women. That's why no task is more important than to study
the factors--particularly nutritional factors--that influence a
baby's growth and development." --Dr. Michel Odent, author of The
Farmer and the Obstetrician"Nina Planck's personal story of life
with baby Julian, from preconception to tending the first tomatoes
at their own Small Farm, makes compelling reading. Her no-nonsense,
tell-it-like-it-is voice cuts through cant and euphemism like a
whiff of sharp cheddar for anyone who wants the real dope. Her
basic distinction between real and fake foods makes essential
reading not just for mothers with babies, but for all of us who
want to live and eat well." --Betty Fussell, author of The Story of
Corn, Raising Steaks, and My Kitchen Wars"Nina's real food concept
